I watched very little TV growing up and never thought I would end up as a
TV and film writer, producer and director. I thought I would play
center field for the Brooklyn Dodgers and when that fell through I
really had no back up plan. Which is how a lot of people end up in show
business, I think.

In 1969, he met his wife, Diana Meehan. They founded and ran a day care
center in Berkeley, California, during the 1970s.

Gary started his showbiz career while living in Israel in 1972,
landing the lead role of Scooterman in the language teaching show The Adventures of Scooterman. His first "real job" not in front of the cameracame in 1976, when he became a writer for CBS' The Bob Newhart Show. This was followed by The Tony Randall Show and later CBS' Lou Grant, for which he was also producer.

He received numerous awards for his work, including the Women in FilmLucy Award
in recognition of excellence and innovation in creative works that have
enhanced the perception of women through the medium of television in 1994 and the Austin Film Festival's Outstanding Television Writer Award in 2001.
1981, he formed his own company,
